Resistance: The Yoo Kwan-soon Story (2019)

Do you remember what kind of things you were so busy about at 17?

Yu Gwan Sun, at age 17, was busy taking part in the liberation of her country. At 18, she died fighting for her country and its freedom. A Resistance tells her inspiring, yet tragic, story.

As a nation with same colonized past, we share the same scars and celebrate the often UNSUNG martyrs and heroes that bravely fought for the freedom we have today. Stories like these should be retold from time to time, passed down from one generation to another --- never letting time fade away the stories of battles the one before us had endured and won. We should NEVER forget.

Go Ah Sung delivered an excellent portrayal of her character. You cannot question the talent in her, she obviously knows what she's doing and how to do it. Her performance alone single-handedly compensated for the weaknesses in narrative this film had. Go Ah Sung would simply take your breath away.

Overall, this film has very good actors, a very solid material (the real-life story of Gwan Sun alone is a very good and powerful plot) but weak writing. It's good, but could have been better. It's not perfect but still very worth your time to watch.
